ELEANOR HALL: In Victoria, authorities are working to contain the first confirmed outbreak of the avian flu in Australia for 15 years.

Twenty-five-thousand ducks are being killed at a farm north of Melbourne after the virus was detected there last week.

Thanks for the info you supplied to me personally, I have come across this during my own research. I have stated elsewhere that I am not one to panic, but to prepare.

SkinSuit, sorry mate humour can be a bit hard to read on the net.

Thank you very much for going back to source that news.

Ive just read the article and it dates back to the end of January, why is this the first time that we have even heard of it???

Media censoring the news we can have access to???

Next, if you read that article it is full of the typical downplaying of the importance of potentially massively impacting events.

We see this type of media and "official" handling of the news all the time here in Australia, its no wonder we're very well known a "The Nanny State", apparentley even as adults we need our politicians and various "Authorities" to do our thinking for us!!
